What Is ImmTrac2 for State of Texas Immunization Records?
ImmTrac2 is the Texas Immunization Registry operated by the Texas Department of State Health Services. DSHS describes it as a secure and confidential system that consolidates and stores immunization records from multiple sources in one centralized place when the person is included in the registry.
Official reference: Texas DSHS ImmTrac2 program informationImmTrac2 can be useful for child care, school, college entrance, military enlistment, travel, employment in health and safety fields, and personal recordkeeping. But a Texas record may still live with a doctor, clinic, pharmacy, school, employer, military provider, or local health department even when a registry request is incomplete.

Schools and child-care centers may have copies submitted during enrollment, but they may not have every dose.
School vaccine pageHow to Request State of Texas Immunization Records Step by Step
Use this order because it starts with the fastest practical record holder, then moves to the official ImmTrac2 release process when a registry copy is needed.
- Start with the place that gave the vaccine. Call the doctor, pediatrician, clinic, hospital system, urgent care, pharmacy, public health clinic, travel clinic, or employer clinic and ask for an immunization history or vaccine administration record.
- Check school, child care, college, employer, and military records. If you submitted proof before, the office may still have a copy. This is often faster than waiting on a registry search.
- Use Texas DSHS Form F11-11406 for an official ImmTrac2 history. Complete the authorization form carefully. It asks for requestor details, relationship to the person named on the record, the person’s birth date, and where to send the official record.
- Submit by the official DSHS route. DSHS says the request form can be submitted to ImmTrac2@dshs.texas.gov or mailed to the address listed by DSHS. The form itself also lists fax/mail information, so verify the current instruction before sending private information.
- If the person is 18 or older, check adult consent. Adults may need ImmTrac2 Adult Consent Form F11-13366 to keep or include records in the registry.
- If a vaccine is missing, contact the provider who gave it. Ask whether the provider can give you a record, update its own chart, or report/correct ImmTrac2 information if applicable.
- If the vaccine was not given in Texas, check the other state. Texas ImmTrac2 may not automatically show doses given in Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas, California, Florida, another state, Mexico, or another country.
Which Texas DSHS Immunization Record Form Do You Need?
Texas DSHS keeps multiple ImmTrac2 forms, and using the wrong one is a common delay. For a copy of an official immunization history, the key form is usually Form F11-11406, “Authorization to Release Official Immunization History.”
Official forms page: Texas DSHS immunization forms| Form | Used for | Practical note |
|---|---|---|
| F11-11406 | Authorization to release official ImmTrac2 immunization history. | Use this when you need DSHS to search/release an official registry record. |

Adult Texas Immunization Records and the Age 26 Rule
Adults often need Texas immunization records for college, nursing school, healthcare jobs, teacher training, travel, immigration medical exams, military paperwork, long-term care work, caregiver jobs, or personal medical history. Texas has a special consent issue that many adults miss.
Official program guidance: Texas DSHS ImmTrac2 programsDSHS says a child registered in ImmTrac2 must sign an adult consent form when they turn 18. Childhood records are held until the person turns 26. If the adult consent form is not submitted by the 26th birthday, the immunization records are deleted from the registry.
Adult consent form: ImmTrac2 Adult Consent Form F11-13366| Adult situation | What to do first | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Age 18–25 | Check whether adult consent was submitted. | This is the critical window before records may be deleted at 26. |
| Age 26 or older | Ask DSHS/provider, but also search old providers and schools. | Registry records may no longer exist if adult consent was not submitted. |
| Healthcare job | Ask employer what proof format it accepts. | Some employers require titers, TB screening, or provider-signed forms. |
| College or clinical training | Check the student health portal and vaccine checklist. | Programs may require exact vaccine dates, titer labs, or special forms. |
| Travel or immigration | Ask travel clinic or civil surgeon before ordering tests. | They decide what proof they accept. |
Texas Child, Parent, Legal Guardian and School Record Requests
For a child’s Texas immunization record, parents, legal guardians, or managing conservators usually start with the pediatrician, clinic, school, child-care center, local health department, or the official DSHS record release form. The request form allows a parent, legal guardian, or managing conservator to authorize release of the child’s official immunization record.
Official release form: Authorization to Release Official Immunization HistoryTexas DSHS says consent is required to register children 17 and younger in ImmTrac2, and that consent is valid until the child turns 18. For school or child care, do not rely on a rough handwritten list if the office wants official vaccine dates.
Minor consent form: ImmTrac2 Minor Consent Form C-7Use the child’s doctor, school nurse, local health department, or DSHS release form.
Be ready to show guardian or managing conservator details if the office requires proof.
Ask the school exactly which document it accepts before registration week.
Texas School, Child Care, Pre-K, College and Exemption Record Help

Official school hub: Texas school and child-care vaccine requirementsTexas K–12 requirements can include DTaP/Tdap, polio, MMR, hepatitis B, varicella, meningococcal, and hepatitis A depending on grade and age.

|---|---|---|
| Child care or pre-K | Age-appropriate vaccine dates or exemption affidavit. | Ask provider, child-care office, or local health department. |

| College or higher education | Campus vaccine form, meningococcal proof, health portal upload, or exemption document. | Check student health portal before paying for titers or repeat shots. |
| Exemption affidavit | Texas DSHS exemption affidavit form when applicable. | Use the current DSHS school/child-care exemption instructions. |
CVS, Walgreens, H-E-B, Walmart, Costco and Pharmacy Vaccine Records in Texas
Many Texas adults received vaccines at a pharmacy instead of one family doctor. Flu, COVID-19, RSV, shingles, pneumonia, hepatitis, Tdap, and travel vaccines may be in a pharmacy profile even when an ImmTrac2 request is incomplete.

Ask the pharmacy for a printed vaccine history if the online account does not show it.
Check MyChart, Baylor Scott & White, Memorial Hermann, Texas Health, Methodist, UTMB, or other local portals.

Healthcare, public safety, and military-related employers may have occupational health copies.
Why Your Texas Immunization Record May Be Missing
A missing Texas immunization record does not always mean the vaccine never happened. It may mean the person was not included in ImmTrac2, adult consent was not submitted, the record aged out at 26, the vaccine was given in another state, the dose was not reported, or the information does not match.
Official program details: Texas DSHS ImmTrac2 details| Problem | What it means | What to try next |
|---|---|---|
| No consent or expired child record | Adult consent may not have been submitted before age 26. | Search old doctors, schools, colleges, pharmacies, military records, and paper files. |
| Name mismatch | Record may use maiden name, old last name, hyphenated name, or different spelling. | Ask providers and pharmacies to search with previous names and exact birth date. |
| Out-of-state vaccine | Dose may be in another state registry. | Use CDC’s IIS directory for the state where the vaccine was given. |
| Provider never reported dose | Clinic or pharmacy may have its own record only. | Request a provider or pharmacy vaccine administration record. |
| Military or VA vaccine | Record may be in federal or military systems. | Check VA, TRICARE, base clinic, service records, or military medical files. |
| Old doctor closed | Records may be with a successor practice, hospital group, or custodian. | Search the old clinic name and ask the local health department. |
Texas Local Help: Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Fort Worth, El Paso and Border Counties
Local help matters when the record is missing, the child needs school proof, the provider closed, or the deadline is close. Local health departments, school nurses, public health districts, city health departments, and county health offices may help locate records or explain what proof is acceptable.
San Antonio example: San Antonio immunization record request information| If you live near | Common record issue | Best practical move |
|---|---|---|
| Houston / Harris County | Large health system, pharmacy, school, or employer record. | Check provider portal, pharmacy, school, local public health, then DSHS release form. |
| Dallas / Fort Worth / Tarrant County | School transfer, pharmacy record, child-care proof. | Use provider/school first; ask county public health about ImmTrac2 record help. |
| Austin / Travis County | College, tech employer, healthcare onboarding, travel clinic records. | Ask the receiving office what format it accepts before ordering titers. |
| San Antonio / Bexar County | Military, school, local health clinic, child record request. | Use local health department guidance plus DSHS Form F11-11406 when needed. |
| El Paso or border counties | Texas, New Mexico, military, or Mexico vaccine history split across systems. | Check where the vaccine was administered, then use Texas or other-state routes. |
| Rio Grande Valley | School, clinic, border, pharmacy, or out-of-state record mix. | Call the provider, pharmacy, school, or local health department before sending forms. |
Out-of-State and Transfer Immunization Records for Texas Residents
If you moved to Texas or received vaccines outside Texas, ImmTrac2 may not automatically contain the full vaccine history. Contact the state registry or provider where the vaccine was given, then bring the record to your Texas provider, school, college, employer, civil surgeon, or local health department if it needs review.
CDC directory: Contacts for IIS immunization recordsThis is common for students, military families, border families, travel-clinic patients, and people who moved from Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas, California, Florida, or another state. The best record usually starts where the vaccine was actually administered.

A titer is a blood test that may show immunity to some diseases. Titers can help when adult childhood records are lost, especially for healthcare jobs, nursing school, clinical training, college programs, or immigration paperwork. But the organization asking for proof decides whether titers are accepted.
| Situation | Titers may help with | Ask before paying |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare job | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. | Ask occupational health which lab format it accepts. |
| Nursing, medical or dental school | MMR, varicella, hepatitis B. | Ask whether positive IgG titers replace vaccine dates. |
| Immigration medical exam | Civil surgeon-reviewed vaccine proof. | Ask the civil surgeon before ordering labs. |
| K–12 or child care | Some diseases in limited situations. | Follow DSHS, school, provider, and exemption instructions. |
